Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare tire was fully in ated
when the vehicle was new, it can lose air after a time.
Check the in ation pressure regularly. It should be
60 psi (420 kPa).After installing the compact spare on the vehicle, stop as
soon as possible and make sure the spare tire is correctly
in ated. The compact spare is made to perform well at
speeds up to 65 mph (105 km/h) for distances up to
3,000 miles (5 000 km), so you can nish your trip and
have the full-size tire repaired or replaced at your
convenience. Of course, it is best to replace the spare
with a full-size tire as soon as possible. The spare tire
will last longer and be in good shape in case it is needed
again.

take the vehicle through an automatic car wash with
guide rails. The compact spare can get caught on the
rails which can damage the tire, wheel and other
parts of the vehicle.

And do not mix the compact spare tire or wheel with other
wheels or tires. They will not t. Keep the spare tire and
its wheel together.
